I love to craft. One of my joys in this hobby is playing with color. That may be why these windows appealed to me. Aren't the colors beautiful? They are located at Blenko Glass in Milton, WV, on the second floor of the shop. (taken with iPhone 7)

In April of last year, I bought this yarn in Seattle. It was a hank of two skeins of Raven Frog yarn from Sitka, Alaska. It is the colors of the Seattle Seahawks, but I don't care - I love the navy blue and lime green together.

I wanted to figure out a way to combine the two colors, letting each one shine, without using any intarsia or fair isle. I don't like them. So I settled on stripes. You can see the beginnig of that journey in this post. It took several tries to get the scarf going.

Eventually, I planned the pattern in my bullet journal - another nice use for the journal.

I'm using Farrow rib as the stitch pattern. Cast on stitches in a multiple of 3 + 1. *Row 1 is Knit 2, Purl 1* Repeat until there is one stitch left in the row. Knit the final stitch. Row 2 is a Purl 1 *Knit 2, Purl 1* to end of row.

The striping pattern is as follows (Color A is blue, Color B is Lime):

Color A - four inches

Color B - four rows

Color A - four rows

Repeat 2 and 3 two more times for three sets of stripes

Color B - eight inches

Three sets of stripes as above (2-4), reversing colors A and B.

Color A - eight inches

Three sets of stripes as above (2-4)

Repeat 5-8.

Repeat 5-6

End with 4 inches of Color A.

I'm using a US Size 6 needle, and this is the progress so far. There will be lots of ends to weave in, although I am carrying the yarn up the side of the piece as I knit the stripes.
